Wishmaster Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 It's October so most themeparks are celebrating the only holiday I actually like, Halloween, and where to celebrate an holiday better than at Holiday Park! Most of the Halloween theming in the park wasn't that great and the walkthrough could have been scarier too, but they did have one great thing. They filled the upper level of the darkride with smoke and had a few actors scare the unsuspecting victoms.This was actually more funny than scary so we ended up riding it 4 times. The park also opened a new ride this year, a Star Flyer named Lighthouse Tower. It's located next to the lake and as the name suggests, is't themed like a lighthouse. To bad it has such a crappy program. And now for some pics: And now back to the good stuff... "I'm watching you!" Dinner! This guy is really pissing me off! The council of the bush. "I don't wanna be on a cake!!!" I don't think Asterix really wanted to be in this picture. And Ton just had to joint them... Outside a few witches where playing dress up. The park also had an other Intamin ride. For the ocasion they allowed Leatherface to hang around the exit. But first he has to get past Dave. And now Freddy Jr. is back to claim her soul... OMG, I didn't even know she was dead! Finaly, a picture that shows the location of their wooden Wild Mouse! A parkmap from 1986. Weird to see how little has changed in 20 years! Honey, I shrunk the EGF! This thing looks popular. Nice collection of track. Mercedes? Doesn't he belong with the other German hyper? Don't leave me!!! Luckely they also have some beautiful things. This park is amasing! They even have someone that looks like the creature in my mirror!
Wishmaster Posted October 8, 2006 Author Posted October 8, 2006 Part 2 Good night EGF, see you next year. There are still a few empty seats. Even EGF can operate in the dark. Why does he always have to be in the spotlight? It's starting to get dark. Dunlop! An other traitor hanging out near EGF! How's my flying, dial 555-iamdead There's something hiding in the trees... And going over it's first camelback. A view of EGF going off it's first drop. Here is it, Lighthouse Tower! It's the hitchhiking creep! theparks.it was here! This is where we met Freddy Sr. and Pennywise the clown. That's a weird place to die. Ton likes taking pictures of EGF too. Every enthusiast's dream, a coaster that dives straight into the kitchen! EGF actually has Continental tyres!
knottslover77 Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Great TR, EGF looks so yummy. God I love that drop! --Jay
matteocrepaldi Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Nice photos. That was a great weekend!!!
Shockwave Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Nice photos! Expedition GeForce looks yummy, yummy, yummy at night. And their Lighthouse Tower looks way better than Flamingoland's!
MrMorgan Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Wow, I didn't think that any parks here in Germany were open past dark! The latest Heide Park here in northern Germany stays open is 8:00.
Flo3:16 Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Nice TR. Eventhought i`ve always Thought "Superwirbel" is the scariest Thing in the Park. Anyway Ex-Geforce is awesome even in the dark.
pvcoasterguy Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Wow... what a great looking park. EGF looks amazing, especially with all the trees around it. Reminds me of a super-sized, intense Whizzer. Great TR!
KKAddict127 Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Their Halloween event doesn't really look like it stacks up to some others...but hey, who needs to when you have other awesome things...
Mr. Volcano Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Nice Photo update! It looks like you guys had alot of fun... I definately want to go to Holiday Park now... Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the pics. -Justin
Wishmaster Posted October 9, 2006 Author Posted October 9, 2006 Wow, I didn't think that any parks here in Germany were open past dark! The latest Heide Park here in northern Germany stays open is 8:00. The park did close at 8:00. The last pics were made around 7:30, just after all the rides closed. After that there just was an halloween parade. Phantasialand and Movie Park Germany stay open a little later, but for those updates you'll have to wait a few more weeks.
robbalvey Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Their Halloween event doesn't really look like it stacks up to some others...but hey, who needs to when you have other awesome things... You also have to remember what it's "stacking up" against. In Europe, it doesn't seem that Halloween is as big as it is here in the US. So the fact that a park celebrates it, stays open late, and puts on an event to begin with, IMO is a big deal! --Robb
BDG Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 It's a shame the park closes so early... The summer laser show is awesome. The park should do something with it for Halloween as well.

They've never done it before!
